The short answer is don’t finance liabilities; finance assets. You shouldn’t be paying interest on something depreciating in value.
According to industry experts, the value of a new vehicle drops by about 20% in the first year. Over the next four years, you can expect your car to loose roughly 15% of its value each year-meaning the average vehicle will be worth just 40% of its purchase price after five years.
When calculating depreciation, your starting point should be what the vehicle sold for, not the MSRP. For example, if you knock $5,000 off the sticker price, that will also come off its resale value.
PS Great advise, above.
Many thanks,
Ray
